Change your location on Google

You can change your Search location so you see relevant results for the location you're in. For example, if your location is set to Seattle, when you search for coffee shops, you'll see ones that are nearby.

Change your location

Scroll down to the bottom of the search results page where you can find the current location that Google has for you. The location might be coming from your IP address, your Location History, your Wi-Fi connection, or any locations you've set at www.google.com/preferences.

First, make sure your phone is sharing your location with Google

Note: If you aren't sharing your phone's location with Google, you might see a message that says "Location unavailable."

Android

Open the Settings app .

Touch Location.

Make sure "Location" is switched to On.

iPhone

Open the Settings app .

Touch Privacy > Location Services.

Make sure "Location Services" is switched to On.

Next, update your location

Do a search on Google.

Scroll down to the bottom of the search results page where you can find the current location that Google has for you. The location might be coming from your phone, your Web & App Activity, your IP address, or Location History.

Touch Use precise location or Update.

If a pop-up window appears asking you to share your device's location with www.google.com, touch Allow.

Scroll down to the bottom of the search results page where you can find the current location that Google has for you. The location might be coming from your IP address, your Location History, your Wi-Fi connection, or any locations you've set at www.google.com/preferences.

If you’re searching on a local Google domain like google.fr, but prefer to search on google.com instead, follow these steps:

Visit your local google domain, like google.fr.

Click the gray Google.com link in the bottom right corner of the page.

Note: If you clear your cookies, you’ll need to repeat these steps to search on google.com.

If you're seeing a Google domain that doesn't match the country you're in, we might be incorrectly detecting your IP address. For example, you could see Google.com.au instead of Google.co.nz. If this is happening to you, report the IP problem.
